Experian Background Checking Services

Whether an employer or landlord, take the pressure off decision making with our screening
solutions

What is a background check?

The best decisions require much more than guess work,
which is why Experian offers a range of background checking services. Whether you’re
an employer or a landlord, knowing who you’re dealing with can help you to make
better decisions. Our background checks provide a detailed history and understanding
of an individual’s background, including their identity, education, employment
history, credit history and any relevant criminal record information, so you’ll
know who to trust from the start. It can take the pressure off decision-making processes
within recruitment, and even with prospective tenants. A full background check can
confirm the information you are provided with is valid and help to safeguard against
potentially negative aspects, including fraudulent activity, income loss or damage
to your reputation.

Who would use a background check?

Employers in all industries can benefit from using background
checks in their recruitment process. It not only helps employers decide on who would
be a good fit for their company, but helps to minimise any risk of fraud, income loss,
damage to reputation and so much more, as checks flag up any discrepancies in an individual’s
history.

Landlords can also benefit from detailed background checks,
minimising the risk taking on tenants who are more likely to fall behind on their
rent or bills. It takes the guesswork out of choosing tenants and provides landlords
with all the necessary information they need to make an educated decision on who to
rent to, whether it’s a commercial or residential property.
